View Full Version : Good / Bad / Ugly / Movie Reviews
No not the porn stars....................... came across a site that gives details of classic films. Might be an idea to post, thoughts ?.
Truly the best of the best, and not just in my personal opinion, these movies are generally considered true classics by the serious adult movie connoisseur...
Devil in Miss Jones (1972, dir: Gerard Damiano, Arrow Film and Video)
'Devil' was probably the first true classic, and remains one of the best known adult movies of all time. Although made over 20 years ago it still is a significant film for several reasons, chief among them being that it was the first explicit sex film to cover a serious subject.
Wet rainbow (1973, dir: Duddy Kane, Arrow Film and Video)
Another early film that deals remarkebly well with a realistic subject, in this case a threeway relationship that develops between a couple and a young hippy girl.
Private afternoons of Pamela Mann (1974, dir: Henry Paris, VCA)
In 1974 Radley Metzger, director of many soft-core 'sexploitation' movies in the 60's and 70's, changed his name to Henry Paris and made his first explicit film: Pamela Mann. It was the first really big budget porno movie and proved that under the guidance of a good movie maker pornographic movies could be produced that approach those of mainstream Hollywood in quality.
3 AM (1975, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
This, the directing debut of Robert McCallum, has some of the best acting of any adult film made.
Honey pie (1975, dir: Howard Ziehm, VCA)
This movie is proof that even a loop-carrier (a movie consisting of separate scenes loosely held together by a connecting premise) can be a good movie.
Naked came the stranger (1975, dir: Henry Paris, VCA)
This comedy, the second hardcore movie by director Henry Paris, has less explicit sexual images than many others and has often been recommended as a 'couples movie' avant la lettre.
Passions of Carol (1975, dir: Warren Evans)
A very good porn adaption of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Sensations (1975, dir: Lasse Braun)
This French film is one of the best European porno films ever made, and on a par with the best from the US.
Story of Joanna (1975, dir: Gerard Damiano, AVC)
An interesting story of human degradation starring Jamie Gillis as a weird man who makes Terri Hall his personal property after first charming her.
Autobiography of a flea (1976, dir: Sharon McKnight, Mitchell bros)
A very nicely costumed period piece taken from Victorian literature, this is set in France in 1810 and deals with a very young girl being corrupted by priests.
Femmes deSade (1976, dir: Alex deRenzy, Mitchell bros.)
This movie from Alex deRenzy deals with the story of a psychopath who, after being released from prisson, starts to rape and brutalize many of the women he encounters.
Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976, dir: Henry Paris, VCA)
This amusing movie gives us a take off on the Pygmalion/My Fair Lady theme, with Jamie Gillis betting he can turn Paris streethooker Constance Money into the next 'Goldenrod Girl'.
It is universally aclaimed as one of the all time greatest adult movies...
Babyface (1977, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
Another of DeRenzy's masterpieces, Babyface combines humor, plot and great sex scenes in a story about a new guy in a male whorehouse.
Barbara Broadcast (1977, dir: Henry Paris, VCA)
This is another one of the elegant and humorous movies made by Henry Paris. This one has the weakest plot and revolves around reporter CJ Laing interviewing hooker turned best-selling author Annette Haven in a whacky restaurant where sex is the main ingredient.
Desires within young girls (1977, dir: Ramsey Karson, Caballero)
Desires is a very nice movie about freshly widowed Georgina Spelvin who spends her last money in her efforts of getting her two daughters married to a rich man in order to secure her financial future.
Eruption (1977, dir: Stanley Kurlan, Cal vista)
This masterpiece, which was shot in three weeks on location in Hawaii, contains a great mix of plot, production values, sex and locations, and is porn's version of the 1944 classic Double Indemnity.
Mary! Mary! (1977, dir: Bernard Morris, Essex)
A highly erotic movie with a nice story of a husband who has major trouble lasting during sex, and jokingly invokes the devil to help him with his problem. The devil does, and now he can't get his erection down.
Anna obsessed (1978, dir: Martin & Martin, Arrow Film and Video)
This great movie tells the story of a couple with sexual problems: she can't get off, and they gradually start experimenting with different forms of sex.
Candy stripers (1978, dir: Bob Chinn, Arrow Film and Video)
Candy Stripers is probably famous more for the two fisting scenes it contains than anything else about it. This is a shame because it really is a well made funny and erotic movie.
Easy (1978, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Executive video)
This movie showcase the considerable talents (both as an actress and an erotic performer) of Jesie St. James. The fine plot centers on a woman who is looking for love.
Little girls blue (1978, dir: Joanna Williams, VCX)
This movie is light on plot, telling the familiar story of schoolgirls getting to know each ohter and the faculty very well. However, this is probably the best of the countless movies with this theme, and perhaps it's female director is the reason this is a highly erotic movie.
Other side of Julie (1978, dir: Anthony Riverton, Cal vista)
Not only is this the only porno film explosive Jackie O'Neill ever made (which alone would make it memorable :-) it's also a very good movie. The story centers on a couple where the husband is, unbeknownst to her, earning his money as a stud for hire, and on her reactions and sexual liberation when she finds out.
Pretty peaches (1978, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
This, another thouroughly enjoyable comedy by Alex deRenzy, is the story off an airheaded brunette bimbo who looses her memory in a car accident.
Sex world (1978, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Essex)
One of the most acclaimed porno movies of all time, with great production values, a terrific cast, and the interesting premiss of an exclusive resort catering to the guests sexual dreams.
Take off (1978, dir: Armand Weston, Video-X-pix)
Another of the very best porno movies ever made, this gives us an interesting twist on the Dorian Gray theme, with Wade Nichols as the unaging person in in several decades of this century.
V the hot one (1978, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
This movie has great acting (especially from leading lady Annette Haven) and a good story about a high-class woman who secretly has an obsesion of being a prostitute
Ecstasy girls (1979, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
Another one of those movies which seems to have it all: an interesting plot, great production values, humor, and very good sex scenes. This one revolves around the scheming brother of a puritanical, but extremely rich guy close to his death, who tries to get proof of his families promiscuity in order to get a bigger slice of the future inheritance.
Her name was Lisa (1979, dir: Richard Mahler, VCA)
This interesting movie tells us, in flashback as mourners gather round her coffin, the story of model Lisa's gradual decline into *****.
Exposed (1980, dir: Jeffrey Fairbanks, VCA)
A romantic movie about a happily married couple of whom the husband is a former porn stud. Trying to keep this fact from his wife he is forced to return to the set for one last movie.
(Dream Girl of) F (1980, dir: Svetlana, Collector's video)
Consisting of one sexual fantasy after another this imaginative movie revolves around John Leslie and his adventures in a house he has entered to find help after his car breaks down.
Insatiable (1980, dir: Godfrey Daniels, Caballero)
This film was famous before it even released, due to the much hyped return after years of absence by legendary porn star Marilyn Chambers. And for once a movie with such hype actually turned out to be a superior movie.
Platinum paradise (1980, dir: Cecil Howard, Command)
This Cecil Howard masterpiece does not have the heavy plot as some of his later classics, but it does have the same high quality in both production and sexual content, and may well appeal more to the average viewer.
Randy the electric lady (1980, dir: Philip Schumann, VCA)
Randy is a highly enjoyable sci-fi comedy with the requisite evil doctor who is out to rule the world, this time through 'orgasmine' a substance secreted by Desiree Cousteau upon climax.
Talk dirty to me (1980, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Dreamland)
A superb movie with superb acting all round, this centers on smooth-talking womanizer Jack and his slightly retarded sidekick Lenny.
Amanda by night (1981, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
One of the very best combinations of story and explicit sex ever filmed, this tells the story of a hooker who turns up death, and the danger her friends are in for possibly being able to identify the killer.
Bad girls (1981, dir: Svetlana, Collector's video)
A fluffy picture which is a classic because of it's erotism and great cast of newcomers more than it's faltering plot of 4 models going on a shoot in the wild.
Night dreams (1981, dir: Rinse Dream, VCA)
A very unusual film that started a whole new sub-genre of porno movies. It's innovative, surreal, and sometimes downright bizarre, but it also has a lot of highly erotic moments. And the exceptional photography makes it obvious the makers were Hollywood regulars who knew their craft.
Nothing to hide (1981, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Cal vista)
This, yet another Anthony Spinelli masterpiece, is an even better sequel to the superb Talk Dirty To Me, continuing the story of smooth-talking Jack and his side-kick Lenny. Due to the fact that the producer of the original held the right to the Talk Dirty title, it's director had to give his sequel another name. That producer, Jerry Ross, made a sequel under the name Talk Dirty To Me 2 which, although a nice film in it's own right, is nowhere near as brilliant as Nothing To Hide.
Outlaw ladies (1981, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This, which is perhaps one of Pachard's finest efforts, centers on the stories of five women who seek their sexual thrills outside of the norms of their society. It's large cast reads as a virtual who's who of the major early 80's pornostars.
Pandora's mirror (1981, dir:Warren Evans, Caballero)
A big budget movie with an all star cast which clearly shows the care that was taken to produce it. It's a story of Pandora who finds a magic mirror that reveals sexual scenes to anyone gazing into it.
1001 Erotic nights (1982, dir: Stephen Lucas, Essex)
This is a very fine rendition of the classic story of Sheherazade telling the sultan an erotic tale everynight in order to prolong her life.
Between lovers (1983, dir: Henri Pachard, Caballero)
This is an excelent movie with two of the best actresses in porn at the time, Jessie St. James and Georgina Spelvin. It centers on Jessie catching her husband John Leslie cheating and starting an affair of her own (with Joey silvera) during a business trip. Unfortunately she falls in love with Joey and winds up marrying him, which leaves her with a husband each in San Francisco and Los Angeles. To make matters worst John and Joey meet and become buddies. Like I said, an excellent plot oriented movie with great acting, a good story and even hot sex.
Devil in Miss Jones 2 (1983, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
Unlike the Damiano original, which was one of the first attempts at making a porno movie with a serious story, this sequel is playing for the laughs, and with excellent effect. It is a funny, but erotic movie with some fine performances all round.
Dixie Ray Hollywood star (1983, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Caballero)
One of the very best examples of a movie that combines a good solid story with high poduction qualities and explicit sex. This hard-boiled detective story would even be enjoyable without the sex (not too surprising as it was originally intended as an R-rater with the explicit footage added later).
Night hunger (1983, dir: Gerard Damiano, AVC)
The fine movie spans 70 years in the history of the Blair family, who are afflicted with satyriasis, an unending desire for sex.
Sexcapades (1983, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This hot movie tells us the story of porn movie director Harry Crocker who tried making it in the art-movie world and now tries to make a comeback in erotica after seven years.
Every woman has a fantasy (1984, dir: Edwin Durrell, VCA)
This very good, and highly erotic movie tells the story of a husband who is obsessed with finding out what goes on at his wife's caffee-klatches. He tries several ploys to get as close to the action as possible until finally he even atends one in (very believable) drag.
Firestorm (1984, dir: Cecil Howard, Command)
One of Cecil Howard's very best movies, which has a lot more substance than the average adult movie, with a complex layered plot, superb production values, and a lot of erotism.
Buttman's European vacation (1990, dir: John Stagliano, Evil Angel)
A classic mainly because it is the best of the always very good Buttman movies, in my opinion. It makes good use of the Buttman gimmick, and has a terrific cast including Zara and Silver.
Wild goose chase (1991, dir: John Stagliano, Evil Angel)
A very nice movie with a fairly interesting plot, great camera work which once again shows that Stagliano obviously loves the female physique, and hot sex.
Chameleons (not the sequel) (1992, dir: John Leslie, VCA)
An excellent movie with credible acting, a good original story, and lots of hot sweaty sex.
Two women (1992, dir: Alex deRenzy, Rosebud)
The final swan song of Alex deRenzy, who it seems has since decided that with the budgets available these days he can't shoot a story oriented movie anymore, so he only cranks out wall-to-wall sex movies under his Rex Borsky pseudonym. This was one of his last two story based movies, and it's a very good movie.
Some very good movies that only just miss out on classic status
Behind the green door (1972, dir: Jim & Artie Mitchell, Mitchell bros)
Still one of the all time top selling adult movies this movie gave porn viewers the incredible Marilyn Chambers as a girl kidnapped to appear in a strange sex show.

Nice comedy of a guy wanting to becme a musician in Hollywood. He is troubled by all the promiscuity he percieves everywhere.

Good movie of a girl who after a car accident and plastic surgery is slowly learns to enjoy a swinging sex life at the urging of her husband.

The stories of three girls named Anne Stewart, who happen to meet at the airport when a fourth Anne Stewart is paged.
Sleepy head (1973, dir: Erik Andersson)
This melodrama telling the story off two sisters is an early movie that combines a plot with very erotic sex.

This very well made detective story centers on a guy hired to find Miss September for a rich guy who hass fallen in love with her.
High school fantasies (1974, dir: Morris Deal)
This great High School movie set in the 50's is porn's answer to American Graffiti.
Seduction of Lyn Carter (1974, dir: Anthony Spinelli, AVC)
This, the first movie Jamie Gillis made on the West coast, documents the affair a woman starts with a charming but demented sexual expert, leading her to ever greater heights of ecstasy and ever deeper humiliation.

Oriental blue (1975, dir: Philip Drexler jr.)
A well made movie about a white slavery ring with the requisite kidnapping and raping.
Pleasure masters (1975, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
To all intents and purposes this is just one elaborate loop reminiscent of a Twilight Zone episode continaing very hot sex.
Punishment of Anne (1975, dir: Henry Paris)
A good example of a sensual and erotic movie dealing with the theme of bondage and S&M. Note however that it has fairly little hardcore sex (most of the sex is softcore).
Cry for Cindy (1976, dir: Anthony Spinelli, AFV)
A very nice movie combining plot and production values with sex, this tells the story of how a sweet innocent girl becomes a succesful hooker.
Expose me lovely (1976, dir: Armand Weston, Quality-X-pix)
One of the better adult detective movie made, this seems more a well plotted movie that just happens to contain explicit sex.

Essentially a loop carrier held together by an interviewer talking to a Hefner-like publisher, this has some monumentally hot sequences.
Trouble with young stuff (1976, dir: Erik Andersson, VCX)
The trouble of this movie is that the title is completely wrong since it's not about young girls at all. It more of a porn soap revolving around some blue collar workers.

One of Damiano's most cryptic movies this one attempst to explore the various stages of humal sexuality.

A psychological movie about two siblings who used to play sex games and keep their cousin out of it. Now she is trying to get to grips with these memories as she visits them once again.

A classic comedy about a 20 year old blond virgin with a heart of gold and a head full of air.

A very good detective story about a black police man who has to solve a brutal shotgun murder.
Health spa (1978, dir: Clair Dia, Essex)
A very nice movie about a journalist who has to do an expose on a health club that features sexercise methods.
Maraschino cherry (1978, dir: Henry Paris, Quality-X-pix)

This humorous, high budget movie tells the story of Jack and Jill who as a married couple try to spice up their sex lives with game playing.

(A Place) Beyond shame (1980, dir: Fred J. Lincoln & Sharon Mitchell, VEP)

Budding of Brie (1980, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This porn version of All About Eve perfectly captures the feeling of 1951, but somehow the plot, costumes, set and dialogue nearly overwhelm the sex.
Coed fever (1980, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
A thoroughly enjoyable movie about the girls of a sorority who are bullied by their dike president and aren't allowed to meat their low-life boyfriends from the Uppa You fraternety. Lots of comedy and hot sex, and a large cast of big names.
Dracula exotica (1980, dir: Warren Evans, VCA)

Pink ladies (1980, dir: Richard Mahler, VCA)

Another one of Cecil Howard's cryptic movies about relationships, this one follows Ron Jeremy as he has problems with his wife, his daugther, and the world at large.
Talk dirty to me 2 (1982, dir: Tim McDonald, Caballero)
A sequel that is obviously inferior to the original, this one concentrates on dirty tlking stid Jack and virtually ignores the Lenny character. However, it does have great sex scenes and introduces Bridgette Monet.
Titillation (1982, dir: Damon Christian, Essex)
Probably one of the best big boob movies made, this tells the story of two bumbling detectives in search of the 'perfect set'.

Marilyn Chamber's return after the classic Insatiable, this movie has much more of a story (about a promising new country singer) and still showcases the incredible sexual energy of Marilyn.
Bodies in heat (1983, dir: Paul G. Vatelli, Caballero)
A very good detective story with a good plot and hot sex scenes.
Corruption (1983, dir: Richard Mahler, VCA)
A not very erotic movie that seems to focus much more on the brain than the crotch, it deals with business man Jamie Gillis and his interactions with various others.
Hot dreams (1983, dir: Warren Evans, Caballero)
A hot movie with married Sharon Mitchell who constantly has these sexual fantasies and dreams.
Maneaters (1983, dir: Fred J. Linclon, VCA)

An adult version of Some like it hot, with two insurance detectives hiding for a hitman in a house full of gorgeous models.
Great sexpectations (1984, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This secquel to Sexcapades is as good as the original, and it continues the story of x-rated director Harry Crocker.

A take-off of the mainstream Risky Business, this has Tom Byron alone for the weekend and before you know it the house is being used by a plethora of gorgeous working girls.
Trinity Brown (1984, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
A very nice detective story with good acting and some excelent sex scenes.
She's so fine (1985, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
Fun movie about Taija Rae on her wedding day waiting for her intended. A lot of weird friends and neighbors show up.
Taboo 4 (the younger generation) (1985, dir: Kirdy Stevens, Standard)
The fourth instalment in this series again approaches the original in that it has a good story line, good acting, and some very hot sex.
Taboo American style (1985, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This 4 part mini series which captures the spirit of the Dallas and Dynasty tv stuff is packed with heat, has some very good acting, and won best film awards at all three awards ceremonies (AFAA, CAFA and XRCO).
Too naughty to say no (1985, dir: Victor Nye, Caballero)
This fun film of a catholic schoolgirl's dream after she has read a bible story filled with the word 'begat' has some very hot sex scenes, a great cast, and nearly all scenes feature the incredibly beautiful Angel.
Trashy lady (1985, dir: Steve Scott, Masterpiece)
A very well done 30's gangster movie with a cute story, great cast and tremendous production values.
Pretty Peaches 2 (1987, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
A worthy sequel to the classic, this continues the story (with a completely different cast) of a young, innocent girl out in the world.
Beauty and the beast (1988, dir: Paul Thomas, VCA)
Probably the best movie Paul Thomas has directed, this has the usual high production values, coupled with good acting and hot sex scenes.
Candy's little sister Sugar (1988, dir: Gerard Damiano, Vidco)
A very belated sequel to the popular Candy movies, this has the same zany, sexy adventures, this time for Candy's little sister.
Adventures of Buttman (1989, dir: John Stagliano, Evil Angel)
This was a difficult movie to place, since it is a very good movie that revolutionized porn in the 90's and gave rise to a whole new genre, and it only just did not make it into the Classic category.
Chameleon (1989, dir: John Leslie, VCA)
A good movie about a female who can take on the shape of another person, which she does often to indulge in sex.
Buttman's ultimate workout (1990, dir: John Stagliano, Evil Angel)
This third of the Buttman movies made by John Stagliano is probably one of the best.

A movie with good acting, an interesting plot, nice sex scenes, and (very unusually) only two sexually active performers: Randy Spears and Hyapatia Lee.
Secrets (1990, dir: Andrew Blake, Caballero)
Probably the best of the Andrew Blake movies, this one has the beautiful photography, the beautiful girls, but also has some very good, hot sex scenes.
Curse of the catwoman (1990, dir: John Leslie, VCA)
This sequel to one of Leslie's earliest directorial efforts shows that he is one of the better directors at the moment, and that he knows how to tell a story without loosing sight of the hot sex needed in a porno movie.
Historically significant movies
These are movies which may not be the best ever made, but which are significant for other (usually historical) reasons...
The public showing of explicit feature films in the US started in 1969 in San Francisco, and by early 1970 it had spread to Los Angeles and New York.
Those first films were documentaries and quasi-documentaries packed with 'redeeming social value' so as to prevent the possibility of convictions for obscenity (under the three pronged test for obscenity set by the US Supreme Court: 1) appeals to the prurient interest, 2) patently offensive because it affronts contemporary community standards, 3) utterly without redeeming social value).
Some of the better known examples of these 'documentaries' include:
* Censorship in Denmark (Alex deRenzy 1969, aka: Pornography in Denmark)
* Sexual freedom in Denmark (John Lamb, 1970)
* Sex USA (Gerard Damiano, 1970)
* (This film is) All About (Gerard Damiano, 1970)
* History of the Blue Movie (Alex deRenzy, 1970)
But of course most of these film makers were not really interested in making documentaries, so gradually more and more movies started appearing that were real movies with the added benefit of explicit sex, and the age of pornography had truly begun.
Mona the virgin nymph (1970, dir: Bill Osco)
This was one of the first sexually explicit movies released for theatrical release with a plot (unlike the 'documentaries' of the previous years), and even today, 25 years later, it's still enjoyable to watch even though it's different from todays movies.
Hot circuit (1971, dir: Richard Lerner, AFV)
This winner of the New York Erotic Film Festival is filled with now totally unknown performers, and it was the first explicit movie based on that old stand-by plot borrowed from 'La Ronde': A meets B, who meets C, C meets D, etcetera, until finally X meets A again.
Schoolgirl (1971, dir: David Gerber, Caballero)
This very early movie obviously shows it's age but is an interesting early effort with plot (about a female student told to do research on some kind of subculture, and she chooses the sexual subculture) and erotic content.
Act of confession (1972, dir: Anthony Spinelli)
This is one pornographic movie which has never been (and probably never will be) widely released to the general public (either in cinema's or on video tape) due to it's theme. In fact it is reputed that when it was shown to East Coast pornography distributors they offered to buy to rights to it in order to be able to destroy it and prevent it's theatrical release (an offer which Spinelli declined).
The problem of the movie is that it not only tells the ribald adventures of a novice nun before she takes her vows, but the ending includes a bearded man in white robes walking on water and receiving oral sex...
Deep throat (1972, dir: Gerald Damiano, Arrow)
Deep Throat is the movie that started the whole 'porn chic' of the early 70's, with serious critics raving over it. In reality the film isn't very good and really shows it's age.
However it is by all estimates one of the all time top ten money grosser in US film history. And no we are not talking the top ten of adult movies, we are talking the top ten of all movies, right up there with Star Wars and Back to the Future...
Teenage fantasies (1972, dir: Frank Spokeman, AFV)
This has Rene Bond narrating and performing oral sex between the scenes that try to explain various mysteries of the human sexuality.
Teenage sex kitten (1972, dir: Anne Perry-Rhine)
A Rene Bond movie with a depressing story about two happy go lucky girls and their boyfriends, where one of the girls is kidnapped.
Defiance (1974, dir: Armand Weston, VCX, aka: Defiance of Good)
This is an early example of a movie with S&M and B&D theme, although most of the terror for the main character is psychological of nature.
Devil's ecstasy (1974, dir: Brandon Carter, VCX)
Not only is this a movie which used the occult/witchcraft/satanism theme to good effect, it also features the lovely Cyndee Summers in nearly every scene.
China girl (1974, dir: Edwin Durrell, Essex)
A good early example of an erotic movie that concentrated on story more than on raunch.
Fantasy girls (1974, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
An early DeRenzy effort with a slim plot but his usual good erotic content, which marked the first appearance of a young actor called Joey Silvera.
Memories within miss Aggie (1974, dir: Gerald Damiano, AFV)
This is a weird psychological thriller which is not very erotic (of course the Psycho-like story might not be very helpful there).
Sometime sweet Susan (1974, dir: Fred Donaldson, VCA)
This is a very nice film with god acting that however is lacking somewhat in erotic content to make it an all-out classic.
Anyone but my husband (1975, dir: Robert Norman)
A nice example of a movie with the 'if he cheats on you do it to him' plot. Notable for the fact that C.J. Laing manages to deep throat all of Tony 'the hook' Perez' 13" cock!
Dirty western (1975, dir: Adele Robbins, AFV)
As an attempt at an explicit Western this movie succeed just as well as most B-grade Westerns, but as an attempt at a porno movie this has problems (lack of sexual heat, and far to many rape scenes to make it erotic).
Night caller (1975, dir: Anthony Spinelli, AFV)
A film dealing with an obscene phone caller who becomes a stalker, but of course this one does show the explicit sex.
Sexteen (1975, dir: Howard Ziehm, VCA)
An early example of how the 'loop carrier' can be a good movie.
Alice in Wonderland (1976, dir: Bud Townsend, Caballero)
A very nice adult adaptation of the Lewis Caroll classic starring Playmate Kristine DeBell as Alice. This movie has been released in many versions from R to XXX.
Ceremony the ritual of love (1976, dir: Fred Star, AVC)
A very nice movie where during a wedding we flash back to some of the sexual escapades between the people attending the ceremony.
Coming attractions (1976, dir: Duncan Starr, VCA, aka:Sex drive)
An interesting and different sex film that makes it difficult to distinguish reality from fantasy.
Count the ways (1976, dir: Ann Perry-Rhine, Caballero)
A movie made by a woman, which shows in the attention to story and production values, but with enough erotic content to satisfy most viewers.
Diversions (1976, dir: Derek Ford)
One of the very few good explicit movies made in the UK.
Dixie (1976, dir: Steve Brown, Video Home Entertainment)
This, the debut of stunning Abigail Clayton, is a very nice movie with the familiar and ever popular 'young naive girl learns about sex' plot.
Joy of letting go (1976, dir: John Gregory, Essex)
This movie tells the story of a bored housewife who decides to dabble in prostitution while her husband is away on a business trip.
Naked afternoon (1976, dir: Alan B. Colberg, Cal vista)
Probably Abigail Clayton's best movie, this features her as a girl dreaming of becoming a movie star.
Night pleasure (1976, dir: Hans Christian)
This movie gives us the story of a woman in control of her own sexuality.
Oriental babysitter (1976, dir: Anthony Spinelli, Essex)
This film has few, but long scenes, and each of them features the all-time Oriental superstar Linda Wong.
Roller babies (1976, dir: Carter Stevens, VCA)
An enjoyable sci-fi movie set in a future where birthcontrol has failed and sex has been outlawed.
Notable for the fact that it was put on the voting list for a Hugo (the yearly major science fiction award) and that it was the only hardcore porn movie ever shown at a World Science Fiction Convention.
Starlets (1976, dir: David Summers, Rainbow, aka: X-rated starlets)
One of the very few porno movies shot in 3-D, and the best of the bunch.
Through the looking glass (1976, dir: Jonas Middleton, Quality-X-pix)
This is one of those movie to point people to who think that sex movies have no plot. Be advised that the star, Catherine Burgess, only did simulated sex scenes for this movie.
Expectations (1977, dir: Anthony Spinelli)
A nice movie in which a socialite and a hippy decide to swap places.
Georgia peach (1977, dir: Cecil Howard, Command, originally called Peach fuz)
This is a nice movie telling the story of two college Juniors in flashback.
Hot cookies (1977, dir: Howard Ziehm)
Interesting movie that tells the story of a mysterious enchantress who, in the backroom of a bookstore, makes erotic paintings come to life for special visitors.
Inside Jennifer Welles (1977, dir: Jennifer Welles + Ken Anderson, Video-X-pix)
This was the first of a series of profiles on some of the major porn stars of the time. This one consists of cult favourite (she only made a few movies, but was very popular) Jennifer Welles telling us about her 'most memorable sexual experiences' in flashback.
Teeny buns (1977, dir: Godfrey Daniels, VCX, aka: Buns in the USA)
Despite it's title this is a very nice movie about three young girls who discover they can make a lot of money by having sex.
Visions of Clair (1977, dir: Thomas Erp, Cal vista)
This is an very unusual and confusing film, and even the director admits it is too cryptic.
Cave women (1978, dir: Annette Haven, Vivid, aka: Once upon Annette / Once upon a time)
This movie about an anthropologist who somehow is able to study the sexuality of cave men and women is notable because it was directed by Annette Haven.
China cat (1978, dir: Bob Chinn, Caballero)
This is one of the best of the Johnny Wadd hard-boiled detective pornos.
Legend of Lady Blue (1978, dir: A. Fabritzi, TVX)
A truly romantic story of two lovers who go their separate ways. She tries to make it in Hollywood but becomes a hooker, he tries to become a doctor but ends up a cabby.
Teenage Twins (1978, dir: Carter Stevens, VCA)
Not one of the best movies ever made, but historically significant because of the fact that it was the first one which starred a pair of real-life twin sisters. Not only did both girls get it on in this movie, they even get it on with each other...
Telefantasy (1978, dir: Bob Chinn, AFV)
The best of many films where a TV station is desperate for rating and they decide to use sex to boost them.
Debbie does Dallas (1978, dir: Jim Clark, Caballero)
Despite the fact that Debbie Does Dallas is one of the best known porno movies of all time and one of the all-time sellers, it is not a superior movie. It a happy little formula effort with all the standard sex scenes.
Intimate illusions (1978, dir: Paul Levis, Essex, re-released: Boiling point)
A strange movie which begins as cops and robbers with a good plot, but suddenly becomes an unrelated giant orgy (as if they ran out of money).
Lure of the triangle (1978, dir: Philip Ronald, VEP, aka:Wet and willing)
This is probably the movie with the best underwater sex ever shot.
(Hot 'n saucy) Pizza girls (1978, dir: Bob Chinn, VCX)
An enjoyable piece of fluff about a pizza delivery service specializing in sexual favours.
Slaves of pleasure (1978, dir: Warren Evans)
An excellent example of the so called 'East Coast grinder' movies: lots of sex and usually a fairly depressing story line.
Daisy May (1979, dir: Fred J. Lincoln, VCA)
A fairly crude parody of the Lil' Abner comic strip, with some fairly funny lyrics to the songs.
Female athletes (1979, dir: Leon Gucci, Video-X-pix)
Probably the best movie made by Leon Gucci, king of the low budget grinders. This has a female editor of a sports magazine who is given a chance to do an article series on women equality in sports.
Misbehavin' (1979, dir: Chuck Vincent, Quality-X-pix)
Another early example of a movie directed more towards couples, with lots of humor.
Satin suite (1979, dir: Philip Drexler jr.)
A good blend of story line (about a cut throat career woman's rise to the top) and erotic sex scenes.
Serena an adult fairytale (1979, dir: Fred J. Lincoln)
A good modern adaptation of the Cinderella fairy tale set in a whorehouse.
Star virgin (1979, dir: Linus Gator, VCX)
Essentially a loop-carrier movie based on the premise of a robot explaining love and sex to the last person on Earth.
Taxi girls (1979, dir: Jacov Jaacovi, Atom)
A classic example of the quintesential raincoater movie: lots of girls and lots of hot sex. Also the best of Nancy Suiter's handful of film appearances.
Young doctors in lust (1979, dir: Darr Michaels, Now showing)
Another one of those non-stop sex movies which seem to have been made with a lot of flair in the late 70's early 80's.
Champagne for breakfast (1980, dir: Billy Thornberg, Essex)
A fun and erotic story where John Leslie pretends to be gay in order to land a job as chauffeur/body guard to Lesllie Bovee
Inside Seka (1980, dir: Ken Yontz + Seka, Video-X-pix)
This third profile picture is probably the worst of the series, but of course it centers on one of the all time fan favourites.
October silk (1980, dir: Henri Pachard, Command)
A very nice vignette movie with lots of lingerie and great sex scenes.
Stormy (1980, dir: Bob Vosse, Cal vista)
This loop carrier is so skillfully put together that it actually looks like a movie that was shot all at one time, instead of being built up around older Swedish Erotica loops.
(This lady is a) Tramp (1980, dir: Chuck Vincent, Cal vista)
A nice comedy of a women telling her rags to riches story.
Deep inside Annie Sprinkle (1981, dir: Annie Sprinkle, Video-X-pix)
Another of the profile series movies, this one features one of the kinkiest and horniest women in porn.
Desires for men (1981, dir: Caroll Connors, Mitchell brothers)
This features the return of Carol Connors to porn after her Candy movies, and shows her most passionate scenes ever.
Filthy rich (1981, dir: Michael Zen, Caballero)
A silly story with hot sex scenes of a rich couple trading roles with the servants for a day.
High school memories (1981, dir: Anthony Spinelli + Godfrey Daniels, VCX)
This movie shows (by it's non-stop comedy first half, and the character evaluation of the second) that the director had an argument with the company halfway though and left, to be replaced by another.
Indecent exposure (1981, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
A comedy about a successful photographer that also tries to explore the motivation of the main characters.
Naughty network (1981, dir: Howard Ziehm, VCA)
This is a comedy, about a TV station that goes hardcore to boost ratings, where the comedy isn't particularly funny and the acting is terrible, but the sex is very good.
Never so deep (1981, dir: Gerard Damiano, VCX)
A movie with lots of emphasis on oral sex, since it's the story of a female detective who is hired by a Hugh Heffner type publisher to find the hooker he once met who gave him the best blowjob of his life.
Please mr. Postman (1981, dir: Louie Lewis, VCA)
A pleasant little movie about two letter carriers and their adventures with pretty hot sex.
Same time every year (1981, dir: Fred J. Lincoln, Video Home Library)
Cute story of three guys who pretend to go to a convention every year to cheat on their wives. Unbeknownst to them the wives are hip to their game and use the annual opportunity to do a little playing themselves.
Cafe flesh (1982, dir: Rinse Dream, VCA)
A cult adult movie: a very well made movie about a post nuclear holocaust world where most people no longer function sexually. The main problem is that it is very lacking in erotism.
Expose me now (1982, dir: Joe Sherman, Cal vista)
A totally silly movie about two brothers, of whom the pure pious one inherits a fortune, while the conniving brother gets nothing. However the sex is hot.
Foxtrot (1982, dir: Cecil Howard, Command)
A very classy vignette movie, and probably preferred by many over the deeply psychoanalytical stuff Cecil Howard usually made.
Irresistible (1982, dir: Edwin Durrell, Essex)
A light comedic movie about a guy who is sent back in time to meet some of the best known erotic women of history.
Roommates (1982, dir: Chuck Vincent, Video-X-pix)
One of the most acclaimed adult films of all time, and a standard setter for the so-called crossover movie: superb production values, very good acting and a solid story. Unfortunately it is almost completely unerotic.
Society affairs (1982, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
A nice movie which is probably most noteworthy for marking the return of Harry Reems to porn after a 7 year absence.
Dark angel (1983, dir: Peter Vanderbilt, VCA, aka: Devil wore high heels)
A dark story of a man obsessed with a woman (played by Desiree Lane) he has once seen.
In love (1983, dir: Chuck Vincent, VCA)
Another one of Chuck Vincent's crossover movies (now often called 'couples' movies), this however as a sex film is much better than Roommates.
Little girls blue 2 (1983, dir: Joanna Williams, VCX, aka: Touch of blue)
A light, fluffy young schoolgirl movie, very similar to the original. A highly enjoyable movie, but not as good as the original.
Naughty girls need love too (1983, dir: Edwin Durrell, Essex, aka: Naughty girls)
One of those early 80's movies with lots of pretty girls, this one is notable for introducing the lovely Hyapatia Lee.
Private moments (1983, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
An enjoyable movie about three lawyer couples who meet every Saturday night, with the guys talking shop and the girls having sexual fantasies.
Taste of Money (1983, dir: Richard Mailer, Atom)
Not the best movie ever made, but it has some nice erotic moments and of course it marked the return of 70's legend Constance Money.
That's outrageous (1983, dir: Fred J. Lincoln, Caballero)
A nice movie about a guy who is dating two sisters at the same time, without one knowing about the other.
Young like it hot (1983, dir: Bob Chinn, Caballero)
This is a light and fun comedy centering on a phone company in financial trouble, and it has an awesome cast.
All the way in (1984, dir: Bob Chinn, VCA)
This is notable only for being Candy samples first starring role in a movie she performs explicit sex in.
Frisky business (1984, dir: Craig Alexander, VCA)
An enjoyable movie about a sister who moves in on her older sibling's boyfriend.
(Little bit of) Hanky panky (1984, dir: Svetlana, Collector's)
Another of the pure sex films made by Svetlana, this marks the debut of mid 80's legend Ginger Lynn.
Insatiable 2 (1984, dir: Godfrey Daniels, Caballero)
The return of Marilyn Chambers in the role of Sandra Chase from the original. Not as good as that original, but any film with Marilyn is worth watching.
Jailhouse girls (1984, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
This is a very hot 'prison girl' movie featuring Ginger Lynn as an innocent girl being thrown into jail on trumped up charges.
Matinee idol (1984, dir: Henri Pachard, VCA)
Nice movie about a film studio whose two major stars can't stand the sight of one another anymore.
Pleasure hunt (1984, dir: Lawrence T. Cole, Now showing)
Hot movie featuring Ginger Lynn who must follow a pleasure hunt map to get the inheritance of her rich husband.
Snake eyes (1984, dir: Cecil Howard, Command)
This is one of those cryptic, often confusing stories of Cecil Howard which centers on man-women relationships.
American babylon (1985, dir: Richard Mahler, VCA)
A very confusing movie which has some very hot moments.
Ball busters (1985, dir: Alex deRenzy, Cal vista)
One of the better examples of Alex deRenzy's loop carriers, with each loop a winner.
Between the cheeks (1985, dir: Greg Dark, VCA)
Another one of the Dark Brothers movies filled with hot sex, lot's of weirdness, and the 'story is usually degrading to the women (often referred to as "ho's").
Ecstasy girls 2 (1985, dir: Robert McCallum, Caballero)
This sequel to the great classic is not as good as the original, but it is a nice movie, and it does continue the original story.
Grafenberg spot (1985, dir: Artie Mitchell, Mitchell brothers)
This film has a tremendous cast of virtually all the major stars of the period, a fairly cute story, and the 'squirting female orgasm' gimmick.
Hot stuff (1985, dir: Erik Andersson, Video-X-pix)
A hot little movie that is an obvious patchjob using footage from a never completed shoot.
Nasty (1985, dir: Lawrence T. Cole, Now showing)
If you like men being humiliated, this is the movie for you. It's also got some very hot sex scenes.
New wave hookers (1985, dir: Gregory Dark, VCA)
Probably the Dark Brother's (the self-proclaimed 'new answer to great porn') best known movie, it has their usual offbeat antics and hot sex, but it is also, as usual, not erotic. It also has a very nice soundtrack by the Plugz.
Tickled pink (1985, dir: Jay Paul, VCA)
A nice movie about a bored married couple who decide to try their hand at swinging, and mistake a house hunting couple for their swing dates.
Wild things 1 (1985, dir: Alex deRenzy, Cal vista)
Another one of the fine loop-carrier movies Alex deRenzy seemed to specialize on in the mid 80's. This one doesn't seems to contain one mediocre loop, all are winners.
Babyface 2 (1986, dir: Alex deRenzy, VCA)
Enjoyable fluff with a great cast of 80's cuties, little plot and virtually no connection to the original classic.
Crazy with the heat (1986, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
Nice movie starring Joanna Storm as a computer designer about to sign a contract when she becomes a sexual berserker gone crazy with the heat.
Devil in Miss Jones 3 + 4 (1986, dir: Greg Dark, VCA)
A two part continuation (or really a new start) of the Justine Jones story in the crass Dark Brothers style, this would probably have benefitted from being one movie, since the second part is markedly weaker then the first.
Every woman has a fantasy 2 (1986, dir: Edwin Durrell, VCA)
Yet another sequel to a very good movie, this too doesn't make the quality of the original (it misses Rachel Ashley's great performance), but it is a good movie and one of those few sequels that actually continue the original story.
Make me want it (1986, dir: Michael Carpenter, Caballero)
One of those movies that has a limited plot, very limited acting, but brims with hot sex action.
Peeping Tom (1986, dir: Robert McCallum, Cal vista)
Interesting movie about an investment magnate who has a terrible problem: he's a compulsive voyeur.
Wild things 2 (1986, dir: Alex deRenzy, Cal vista)
This deRenzy loop-carrier that capitalizes on the success of the original is almost as hot.
Nightshift nurses (1987, dir: John Leslie, VCA)
This, the directing debut of legendary porn actor John Leslie, is a nice movie, but not nearly as good as some of his later directing efforts.
Catwoman (1988, dir: John Leslie, VCA)
This early John Leslie effort has some flaws, but is clearly superior to many of the movies made at that time.
Dirty debutantes (1989, dir: Ed Powers, 4 Play)
Significant for the fact that this (more so than his earlier Busstop Tales series) first episode in a continuing series started a whole new genre of pornography: that of the first time 'amateur' performer being introduced to the audience.
My bare lady (1989, dir: Scotty Fox, Moonlight)
Significant in it being one of the very few porno musicals.
Night trips (1989, dir: Andrew Blake, Caballero)
One of the first porno movies by Andrew Blake, here he already showed that he loves beautiful photography, but at least he didn't forget to include hot sex scenes here.
House of dreams (1990, dir: Andrew Blake, Caballero)
This later Andrew Blake movie already shows the gradual change in his products: even more 'dreamy' photography than his previous movies, and the sex is already beginning to become less important than the images (a trend which would continue in his next productions).
American Buttman in London (1990, dir: John Stagliano, Evil Angel)
Another one of the seemingly endless stream of good Buttman, this takes us to Blighty to prove that the British do have sex, or at least some of them do.
Justine: Nothing to hide 2 (1992, dir: Paul Thomas, Cal Vista)
An acclaimed movie that clearly tries to emulate the Golden Age classics with it's high production values, actual character development and substantial plot.
Hidden obsessions (1992, dir: Andrew Blake, Ultimate)
A typical late Andrew Blake porno movie, where the beautiful photography is far more important than the sexual content. This goes so far that most of the sex is between girls only, simply because the female body photographs more beautifully. Significant in that it unleashed Janine Lindemulder unto the world of pornographic movies.
Realities 2 (1992, dir: Layne Parker, Zane)
A movie that is a perfect showcase of the incredible sexual energy of the top porn star of the first half of the 90's; Ashlyn Gere.
Secret garden 1 + 2 (1992, dir: Michael Zen, X-citement)
Two nice movies that showcase the acting abilities of two of the better actresses in porn today (Ashlyn Gere and Ona Zee) in a queer story about a very strange family.
Sodomania (1992, dir: Patrick Collins, Elegant Angel)
A good example of a modern vignette porno movie whose director isn't interested all that much in story, he wants to show stuff which will arouse the viewer sexually.
Slave to love (1993, dir: Alex deRenzy, Rosebud)
A nice movie with an interesting story, fairly nice acting and some very hot sex scenes.
Steamy windows (1993, dir: Paul Thomas, Vivid)
One of those movies that show that Paul Thomas can make very good movies, if he doesn't forget that pornographic movies need some hot sex and not only a nice story.

Nice idea PhD, why don't we "stick" it in the movie forum?
No problem................. might give members an idea on what a movie is about and if its worth watching.......... also form their own opinion as well.

In scanning through the lists, many fond memories of films that I saw and/or owned were brought back. A couple of thoughts or observations did come to mind and I would like to share. The originals were much better than the sequels and/or the remakes.
